About
the Series
This series of books explores what is perhaps
the most dynamic era in the history of England. Under Britain’s
longest-reigning monarch (1837– 1901), the nation witnessed astonishing
advances in science and technology, as well as sweeping political and social
reforms. These changes affected nearly every corner of the globe.
This
series focuses on the Victorian people and their everyday lives. It introduces
readers to the men, women, and children at all levels of society, from poor
farmers and factory workers to striving middle-class families and to the
aristocrats at the top of the social scale. It describes how they lived and
worked, the values they held, the hopes and dreams they had, as well as the
realities they faced.
